Chapter 57 (1/2)
The Homu-ryeonju decided to set up a separate place to meet with Cheon Chu Shin Ui, Il Chim Gui.
It was necessary to listen closely to this issue. Also, he decided that it was better not to talk outside.
He wanted to hear the story right away, but there was something else they had to do.
The two carefully checked to find those who complained of excessive fatigue among those living around the Black Iron Room.
It was something they would have done anyway even if Homuryeon didn’t ask for it. Because Byeoktaesan told them to do it.
The two split up to inquire around and met again at the front gate of Black Iron Room.
“Do you know anything about poison?”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui replied nonchalantly to Il Chim Gui’s question.
“Just a little bit. Actually, things like this would be my master’s specialty.”
“Master? You had a master?”
“Then, do you think a talent like me fell from the sky?”
“Who is it? Is it someone I know?”
Someone who Il Chim Gui knew from Cheonma Shinkyo was the Maui.
Maui was a doctor who was treated the same on the same level as the Eui Seon. To that extent, both of his medicine and martial arts were amazing.
However, Cheon Chu Shin Ui shook his head.
“You probably won’t know. My master is very shy so he rarely does outside activities.”
“What kind of doctor is shy?”
“My master can do that. He’s really amazing.”
“Better than Maui?”
“uh… would they be similar? It’s just hard to say who is above the other. Their fields are so different… … .”
Il Chim Gui tilted his head.
“Different fields? So, did he focus on just poison? You learned from such a master, but why are you like this? Does it make sense to not know about poison?”
“Who said I didn’t know? Compared to medicine, the level is much lower that’s all. And why do you think our master was focused on just poison? Well, it’s true that he focused on poison, but that’s not what’s really great about him.”
“Then what?”
Cheon Chu Shin Ui frowned.
“What are you so curious? That doesn’t matter right now. Have you looked around?”
“It seems to be poison. Honestly, if the lord wasn’t so sure it was poison, I wouldn’t have found it. It’s very tricky.”
“I am at the same conclusion. So, did the Dokma really get involved?”
“Well. I do not know. I don’t know anything about the Dokma. Do you know anything about Dokma?”
“Of course I don’t know.”
He nodded as if he knew it was going to happen.
“Did you figure out the symptoms?”
“I checked those complaining of fatigue, but it wasn’t that they were tired, their basic resilience of the body was running low.”
“Right. They complain of fatigue because they cannot recover. Then they end up dying.”
“Anyway, that’s the conclusion… There were many paths that led to the conclusion.”
“I think so too. So I provided treatment to some people.”
At the words of Il Chim Gui, Cheon Chu Shin Ui shone.
“I did too. Treatment wasn’t that difficult before reaching the conclusion. The problem is, I have to get the exact diagnosis and get the right treatment, but it seemed to be difficult at a reasonable level.”
“I think the same.”
The eyes of the two who spoke so far widened at the same time.
“Doctors!”
The two of them went around all the clinics in Uichang because of the bet. And they also checked the level of the doctors.
However, in Uichang, there were no doctors with excellent skills.
It wasn’t like almost no talent, but none at all.
They thought it was a little weird, but at that time they just thought it was the case.
But coming this far, they can see that it was also one of the things that were prepared in advance.
“The problem is, we don’t know what effect the poison that lowers the resilience has.”
“In my opinion, one alone doesn’t work, and it’s a poison that works properly only when there is another poison.”
At the words of Cheon Chu Shin Ui, Il Chim Gui nodded.
It was plausible. There was actually quite a bit of poison that did that.
“Anyway, according to the words of the lord, the Black Iron Room guys are all dead… … .”
“Wouldn’t we have to take action before they do anything? At this rate, the people in Uichang will be wiped out.”
“Yes, let’s go first.”
“I will report to the lord, and my brother can go to Ho Mu Ryeon-ju.”
“Who is your brother?”
“If it’s not my brother, it’s going to have to be stranger, well, choose whatever you want.”
“Ugh. Just let me be brother.”
Cheon Chu-Shin Ui smiled.
“You should have done that to start with.”
Il Chim Gui clenched his fist and trembled.
Cheon Chu Shin-ui saw that and ran away quickly.
“Let’s hurry! Hahahahaha!”

Ho Mu Ryeon-ju sat face to face with the commander with a serious expression.
“I don’t know who it was, but they are very determined.”
“Yes. If it wasn’t for the two doctors, we would have been unaware of anything.
The thought was terrible.
“It was bad enough just to take the hit, but our reputation of Ho Mu-ryun almost hit the bottom.
“Anyway, I’m glad there is a way to respond.”
“How did the recruiting of the doctors go?”
“I’m looking into it right now. We are also investigating where the talented doctors of Uichang went and who approached them.”
“You have to figure it out for sure.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. We put in all of the Jeokmyeongdan.”
“Doesn’t it feel a little clumsy by the way?”
“Yes? What does?”
“Isn’t it so obvious? They dare to get rid of all the competent doctors and use a poison that has a clear solution. Oh, did you find out anything about the poison?”
“The two doctors are studying it right now. I think we will be able to figure it out sooner or later.”
“Is that so? They are definitely two of the best in the world. It’s really great. I really want them.”
The commander said in a subtle voice.
“Would you like to promote recruitment?”
Homu-ryeonju shook his head.
“It’s difficult right now. They are too into Byeoktaesan right now.”
“Then, don’t we just have to recruit Byeoktaesan?”
The face of Homu-ryeonju who heard the words got distorted.
“Yes, that’s it, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“Yes? I did some research on the second son of Gold Wall… I don’t think they were in a position to decline if we make an offer?”
“Recruitment proposal or whatever, I can’t say anything to him if I can’t even meet him.”
“Yes?”
“He’s a very rude guy.”
The commander could not understand the reaction and speech of Homu-ryeonju.
“Then shall I try?”
Ho Mu Ryeon-ju looked at the commander with a fat expression.
